The only entry level position on a movie is director.
To be quite honest, I’m not religious.
When it comes down to it, I just want to work.
You could make a film about being intoxicated only when you’re riding motorcycles, but really when you’re in an enclosed space safely, you can.
I’m really fascinated with anything that takes place between the 1920s up through the 1960s. In some ways it feels familiar, and in other ways it feels like it’s from another planet.
Religion theme aside, most of the time I’m in some sort of comedy and I’m a straight man and it’s really just, let’s wind this guy up and see him explode.
If I can be a working actor, if I can be an actor and not have a day job, I’ll be fine.
I spent a lot of time in Tower Records. I’m a huge music nerd, and Tower was instrumental to me when I was growing up.
I did plays in grade school.
No matter where you are in your life, whatever set of people you’re with, it all still breaks down like high school does. You have your social cliques, you have the people you get along with, the people you don’t and the people you’re ambivalent about. All of the dynamics are still here.
If I could spend more months out of the year employed than unemployed, that would be nice.
I guess maybe someone at ‘Dexter’ saw the ‘Mad Men’ stuff and thought, ‘He can do this.’
I like to look at scenarios and see how people interact with each other. That’s why I’m an actor because I try to recreate that. Since our daughter joined us the spectrum has widened.
Everyone in my industry, the movie industry, is looking at the music industry and going, ‘How do we avoid that collapse?’ And I don’t know if you can, to be quite honest!
I didn’t want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I’m not that cool, so I might as well stick with my birth name.
I collect watches because I’m always late, and I need to know exactly how late I’m going to be – in order to come up with a good excuse.
When I was younger it was, you know, my dad dressed up in drag on ‘Bosom Buddies.’ And that was what I was having to deal with at the time. And then around the time that I was into college was when he became statue-worthy I guess you could say.
My dad has always been extremely supportive in every decision I’ve made and much more interested in me picking what I wanted to do.
I knew that I needed to do something that I desperately loved. There was a period where I did question if it was acting because I knew that I would be making things hard on myself. I knew that there was going to be a little bit of a hullabaloo because of my dad being who he is and all that.
Honestly, the two main things that I always look for is, when I read the script for the first time, do I read it quickly? Because if I read it quick, that’s an important telltale sign.
